You may just be right, but it does not really matter that BC is getting all this attention just because he is a Bluetick, bottom line he is a COON DOG and deserves the attention. We hunters sometimes get fixed on a certain breed as being the only coon dogs, when the TRUTH is there are some TOP COON DOGS in several breeds. I love a TOP coon dog regardless of breed and I am seeing some really good Blue dogs and English dogs winning some big hunts in recent years and placing high in others. That tells me we are making progress with other breeds and that the Walker dogs are not dominating the hunts like they used to do. Competition is good it makes you work harder to achieve being the top dog or breed. It's good for the sport and it's good for the breeds. I hope the XBreeds become a factor in the competition world, they have done well in the hide hunters hands. Breed jealously has been a handicap to the coon hunting community, it's way over due to put all this jealousness to rest and focus on producing the best coon dogs possible. Dave
I have no jealous ness at all towards BC or anyone that breeds to him or hunts a pup out of him. I’ve hunted with him and he is a dang nice hound. I would hunt him, one out of him no questions asked, and would be proud to own him or one just like him. But I’ve seen just as nice or better walker dogs. Not to take anything from him because he really is a coon dog. Period. Regardless of breed, color, sex, or anything. What I’m saying is I think since he is a blue dog he has more of a wow factor. If he was a walker, it wouldnt be as exciting. You seen walkers in his caliber more often than any other breed. But since he is a blue dog, it’s a rarity, or should I say less common and more exciting.
